The 77-year young restaurant industry pioneer, world-renowned for its southern hospitality with a twist, is continuing its own national holiday by giving away a slice of an American treasure to all guests – one per guest, while supplies last. Shoney’s Hot Fudge Cake features vanilla ice cream in the middle of two slices of fudge cake topped with whipped cream and a cherry. Shoney’s has served millions of Hot Fudge Cakes in its rich history yet its leader, Chairman and CEO Mr. David Davoudpour, decided years ago that the best way to thank his loyal guests while gaining new ones was to give slices of his American dream dessert away, no catches whatsoever, each first December Thursday of the year.

“This is one big THANK YOU, a sweet tooth meets goodwill gesture only Shoney’s can master,” said Mr. Davoudpour, proudly adding brand ambassador and biggest fan to his official brand roles. “We are a week past Thanksgiving, a little under three weeks away from Christmas and we want to shift this holiday season into high gear with an unforgettable experience at Shoney’s. National FREE Hot Fudge Cake Day is our American holiday and we are celebrating it with our beloved guests.” Shoney’s category leadership, relevance and impact on the industry was captured eloquently and memorably once in a column in Columbia, Tennessee’s daily newspaper: Columbia Daily Herald, which focused on, what else, its iconic and delectable dessert. The article ages gracefully though its words ring relevantly and reverently every year, serving as a kind honor to the personal impact that Shoney’s has on everyone, including Mr. Davoudpour, who leads the way. Since acquiring the great American eatery in 2007, Mr. Davoudpour has been on a driven and spirited mission to reinvigorate and revitalize Shoney’s, a family-friendly, southern hospitality with a twist restaurant brand. Shoney’s is one of the first and has always been one of the most popular, family casual dining concepts in the United States. In order to get back to what Mr. Davoudpour confidently calls Shoney’s “Glory Days,” the brand hopes to grow through franchising following an extensive revitalization effort. Shoney’s is offering franchising opportunities to qualified single and multi-unit candidates.
